The karma of love.
The karma of love
A Poem by Coyote Poetry

When we are young. We waste the gift of love.
The Karma of Love
Written on 5 March 1985
I remember when the sparkles in your eyes could
light up the world surrounding you.
I remember how I wanted you.
Just for a few moments of your touch.
Now my heart is in remorse and dismantle.
Every time I think of you.
How you made every moment so special.
I feel weaken.
Now your smiles are rare.
Your beautiful blue eyes lost their sparkles.
You are living alone in a wasteland of loneliness.
Hiding all your pain.
I taught you.
Maybe your life wasn’t so tough.
But your heart was tender.
Easily broken.
And me.
I was just after another conquest.
Another heart to add to my hunger.
Never to be fulfilled.
You won.
After I left you.
Your beautiful face.
The memories of your tears.
Left me empty and dead.
Now I dreams I left you smiling.
Laughing for our love would never
end for you.
You would be my brightest star.
I would be there to hold you when you
were afraid.
I awake alone.
Seeing the damage done to you.
Was done to me.
I called you.
I told you. “I’m sorry.
I would come back.
I miss and love you.”
You whispered.
“Thank you.
I’m alright.
It is too late.
I have nothing left to give.”
So funny.
I realized I stole all your dreams.
I also lost my dreams the morning I left you
in our warm bed.
To conquer another poor woman.
Leaving you with my heart.

John, you certainly have a way of tugging on my heartstrings! Beautiful…and this poem touched my heart in a way that released some old, pent up anger about love lost, love taken and not returned, love taken for granted. Thank you!
